Important facts
In a Tuesday rulingFederal Judge Rita Lin said that the Trump government’s decision to defeat the financing of the UCLA has violated an earlier statement by it in June, as a result of which the National Science Foundation did not prevent scientific research for the University of California System.
In her statement, Lin said that the Trump government tried to circumvent its order by claiming that they can “stop financing with every subsidy that was registered, as long as that action was labeled as a” suspension “instead of a” termination “”
